Ear, Nose, and Throat/Head and Neck Surgery

ENT Treatments

Through an integrated approach to clinical care and research, Mount Sinai’s ENT surgeons and specialists employ the latest therapies for treating disorders of the head and neck, while our cutting-edge team of investigators carries out both clinical trials and laboratory research. Our services include the following advanced tools and technologies:

Center for Hearing and Balance: Mount Sinai’s Center for Hearing and Balance in New York City treats the full spectrum of hearing and balance disorders, including acoustic neuromas, auto-immune inner ear disease, cholesteatoma, chronic ear disease, facial nerve disorders and otosclerosis. Among the treatments we provide are bone-anchored hearing aids, cochlear implants, and skull base surgery.

Endoscopic surgery: Mount Sinai ear, nose, and throat surgeons remove tumors of the voice box, skull base, and neck using an endoscope — a thin tube equipped with a tiny light and miniature video camera. Your doctor inserts the endoscope into your body through a natural opening, such as your nose or throat, for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Doctors view the images captured by the endoscope on a video monitor. Endoscopic surgery is minimally invasive. Mount Sinai has developed techniques to remove skull base tumors endoscopically through the nose, leaving no visible sign of surgery.

Facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery: Our reconstructive facial surgeons and specialists in facial cosmetic surgery use state-of-the-art endoscopic techniques to reshape facial features, including microvascular-free tissue transfer. We also provide surgical and non-surgical therapies for patients with congenital, acquired, or traumatic problems of the oral cavity, jaws, and associated structures.

Grabscheid Voice Center: Our Grabscheid Voice Center offers personalized medical care for the professional voice, along with a profound understanding of the special medical, psychological, and professional needs of singers, actors, and public speakers.

Robotic surgery to treat head and neck cancers: We use the DaVinci Surgical System®, an advanced technology that magnifies the surgical field and gives surgeons greater visualization, dexterity, and precision during an operation. It is a less-invasive surgical technique that reduces scarring and improves outcomes.
